Session Tracking

How can I use session tracking with Python. Is this something that is in the CGI module, or is it somewhere else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At the moment Pythons cgi module is pretty old and cluttered with depreciated code for backward compatablity. But it works, and is proven stable again and again:

One alternative would be to use mod_python which now includes working session, cookie and PSP modules. Aswell as offering a nice speed increase over standard CGI.

You can also use the Cookie module to create simple sessions, and this works pretty well:

I am also working on an updated version of the cgi module called CGI – based on my earlier Net module:

Have fun,
